Nick Pope, who used to run the Government's UFO project and is considered a leading authority on UFOs, told The Sun: "We are now on track for a record year.
"I thought the number of UFOs reported last year was high, but we now know they are being reported in increasing numbers."
Last year, the MoD released files detailing strange and unexplained sightings reported to them between 1986 and 1992.
